An, African queen.

Among the notables along the River
Congo not the least in Importance was
Queen, Gankabi, who. is thus described.
by Stanley: !
"About an. hour. after we lett our
camp, we were met by two well-man-
ned canoes, in the foremost of.which
there. was a female padding vigorously
for few strokes and, then, with a
peculiar style, bringing her right arm
to, her waist. Ankoi recognized her
and cried out: There is Gankabi!' !
Naturally, to meet such a celebrity,
the principal person on the river, we
halted very quickly, and without the
slightest sign Of timidity she steered
her 45-foot canoe alongside. This very.
action on her part showed person
ofcharacter. Shaprobably was listen:
ing to, Ankoli, who, like all other ma,
tives, began at the very beginning of a
story and continued to the end. Her
attentive survey of myself was re-,
turned with interest. Excepting her,
hair and color. she had nothing ne.
groid about her. Draw figure with.

Gankabi. Among negro women this.
face of the Washington type is very
unusual. Probably | have seen 2O0,-
600 African women in my travels, and

than half al dozen such women. A.

Of this formidable typewere governing
women, great in their own way, such
as the Queen mother of Uganda, and
Gankabi, Queen of Musye. That the
latter was not greater was due solely
to a lack Of opportunity. Perhaps
Candace. OF Ethiopia, and Gornelia,
the mother of the Gracci, may have
been women of the same type. Her
people were wild boxing set. Their
women affect heaEy collars, of brass,
from ten to sixty pounds in weight,
while their leglets and armlets were

Where is Bernardo" said Laura,

think of his having purchased that
Morford House opposite the one next

ding to Edna.
Why, mother?" said Laura in SUR

the day before yesterday Judge
Taylor wanted the house, and he Just

triumphantly
"But, . said Edna vaguely, "I did not

child? All, these picnics, and late

bitter pain and remorse, and the vain

NERVOUS ORATORS.
Men Who Always Shake and Tremb1e Bs.
fore Making Great Speech.

AAASA " no Always S0HRO GEe"O40 k56s
fore Making q Great Speech.
Great orators are almost invariably
nervous with apprehension when about
to make an important speech. Luther,
to his last years, trem 5led when he en-
tered the pulpit; the same is true ol
Robert Hall. Mr.. Cough confesses
that he is always in tremor when com
ing before an audience Many Of the
leaders Of the House of Commons have
given similar testimony. Canning said
he could always tell in advance when he
was about to make one of his best
speeches by chill running through him,
caused by fear OF failure. Lord
Derby, father Of the present Earl,
when q young man, was one of the
best speakers in Parliament. He was
known as the "Prince Rupert of de.
zsate," and seemed so self possessed as
to be incapable of embarrassment. But
he said: ''When am going to speak,
my throat and lips are as. dry as those
Of man who is going to be hanged"
He also told the late Sir A. Allison that
'she never rose to- speak,, even in an
afternoon dinner assembly without ex-
periencing certain degree of nervous
tremor, which did not go. off till he
warmed to the subject"
It is recorded of Cicero that lie
shuddered visibly over his whole
body when he first began to speak
In the Life Of Lord Lyndhurst," by
Sir Theodore Martin, we are told
that he did not prepare his
speeches. "tThough like all great ora
tors, he never rose to speak without ner-
vous emotion, this is. no way interfered
with his power of thinking as he spoke,
and calling into play the fttest Ian
guage to express what he thought. The
intensity with which his intellect worked
became contagious. He. got his hear
ers minds within his grasp, he made
them think with him, see things with
the same clearness he himself saw them,
and so led them insenslbly up to his
own conclusions. T1erney. whom
Lord Macaulay calls one of the most
fluent debaters ever known, said
he never rose in, Parliament with
out feeling his knees knock to-
gether. It is one OF the compensa-
tions Of nature that the nervous tenn
permanent which occasions the trembling
is also one of the causes of oratorical
success. In fact. it may almost be said
that no one can be great orator, or a
really effective speaker who does not
experience the feeling.
